Ratio applicable to the scrip distribution

Mpact Limited
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)
(Company registration number 2004/025229/06)
Income tax number: 9003862175
JSE Share Code: MPT
JSE ISIN: ZAE 000156501
(“Mpact” or “the Company”)

RATIO APPLICABLE TO THE SCRIP DISTRIBUTION

Shareholders are referred to the Company’s audited financial
results for the year ended 31 December 2016, published on the
Stock Exchange News Service on 2 March 2016 and in the press on 3
March 2016 in which they were advised of the Company’s declaration
of a final distribution of fully-paid Mpact ordinary shares of no
par value (“the Scrip Distribution”) to ordinary shareholders
(“Shareholders”) recorded in the register of the Company at the
close of business on the Record Date, being Friday, 31 March 2017
(“the Record Date”).

Shareholders will, however, be entitled to elect to receive a cash
dividend of 65 cents per ordinary share of no par value held on
the Record Date in respect of all or part of their ordinary
shareholding, instead of the Scrip Distribution (“the Cash
Dividend”).

A circular setting out the terms of the Scrip Distribution and
Cash Dividend alternative, including a Form of Election, was
posted to shareholders on Wednesday, 8 March 2017.

The Cash Dividend will be paid only to those:

       -   certificated Shareholders whose Forms of Election to
           receive the Cash Dividend, in respect of all or part of
           their shareholding, are received by the Transfer
           Secretaries on or before 12h00 on Friday, 31 March 2017;
           and
       -   dematerialised Shareholders who have instructed their
           CSDP or broker accordingly and in the manner and time
           stipulated in their agreement with such CSDP or broker.

The number of Scrip Distribution shares to which each Shareholder
will become entitled pursuant to the Scrip Distribution (to the
extent that such Shareholder has not elected to receive the Cash
Dividend) will be determined by reference to such Shareholder’s
ordinary shareholding in Mpact (at the close of business on the
Record Date) in relation to the ratio that 65 cents bears to 3040
cents, representing the volume weighted average price of an
ordinary Mpact share traded on the JSE during the 30-day trading
period ending on Friday, 10 March 2017. The ratio of Scrip
Distribution shares to which each Shareholder will become entitled
pursuant to the Scrip Distribution (to the extent that such
Shareholder has not elected to receive the Cash Dividend) is
therefore 2.13816 Scrip Distribution shares for every 100
ordinary shares held on the Record Date.

Where the application of this ratio gives rise to a fraction of an
ordinary share, such fraction will be rounded down to the nearest
whole number, resulting in allocations of whole ordinary shares
and a cash payment for the fraction.

The applicable cash payment will be determined with reference to
the VWAP of an ordinary Mpact share traded on the JSE on
Wednesday, 29 March 2017, (being the day on which an ordinary
Mpact share begins trading ‘ex’ the entitlement to receive the
Scrip Distribution or the Cash Dividend alternative), discounted
by 10%.

The applicable cash payment will be announced on SENS on Thursday,
30 March 2017.

Example of Scrip Distribution entitlement:
This example assumes that a Shareholder holds 100 ordinary shares
at the close of business on the Record Date and does not elect to
receive the Cash Dividend in respect of all or part of their
shareholding.

New ordinary share entitlement =
100 x 65 cents
______________
3040 cents
= 2.13816 new shares
(then apply the Rounding Provision described above)
= 2 Scrip Distribution shares in respect of the 100 ordinary
shares held.
